The Taris Event Chapter 2 OOC Thread

Apparently Bulwark needs to learn that with women no means no

Gimme my gambling results! I had one last round at the same stakes! Then you can deduct the utility belt I bought afterwards.

Wait a sec. I must have missed that one. Let me scroll back and find and work it out.

[Blackferne]

Deepest apologies Whiteness I read that post and dealt with one aspect but not all and despite like 3-4 posts of you saying "waiting for winnings" I kept thinking "wow he is really RPing up staying at the casino" completely oblivious to the cue that I was supposed to roll 20 more hands.

If I miss something and I've posted several times since your simple request please call me out in the OCC thread with "BLACKFERNE WTF IS YOU MALFUNCTION? Then a reasoned explanation of your complaint."

[Whiteness]

Well, it was when you said you had work and wouldn't be able to do any gambling stuff, and then I left work and was busy most of the night. Went out for dinner and movie with teh wifey and finally saw TRON. It was definitely kickass.

3:2 and 3:1 odds? I knew I should have talked to Eli about throwing the match

[Dood]

3:2 and 3:1 odds? I knew I should have talked to Eli about throwing the match

I was just thinking the same thing. Though I get the impression that since he bet 1000 on himself, he's not likely to be open to that idea.

[Furiel]

Oh how quickly they forget...I believe I made my stance on that clear the previous evening.

[Dood]

I don't think we forgot so much as didn't pay attention the first time.

[Blackferne]

Ship modification 101:

You guys now are the proud owners of a Cynamic Class Freighter found on page 81 of the starship rulebook.

This ship qualifies as a colossal size ship. This means that your ship size modifier is 5. This is found on page 39 of the same rulebook.

Your ship has 6 emplacement points. Each system you install will take up emplacement points. If you gut your ship of a similar system we will figure out how many emplacement points that frees up. So you gut your current sublight engines and get new ones we will figure out the difference.

In order for ANY modifications to be done to this ship it will require a crew of minimum 5 people. The formula to figure out how long a modification is Days=(#of emplacement points used by the new equipment)*(ship modifier which for you is 5)/(Size of work crew). Obviously the more you get working at it the faster it will go. There is a cap to it, but I'll address that should it happen.

You may not do modifications while the ship is moving in normal space or hyperspace.

Costs are base cost X size modifier. your size if currently 5. So any price you see listed on the charts of the modification chapter needs to be quintupled.

Any questions?

[Dood]

I have a question:

Can we make with the fight now?

Another question:

Must I be present to collect my winnings or could I hand my betting slip or whatever to Whiteness?

Another question:

If the latter is true, does that mean I could, theoretically, steal a winning ticket from someone else should Eli lose?

Another question:

Seven?

[Whiteness]

Damnit Dood, now I want to pick someone's pocket, but I'm way too lazy and somewhat busy to go through all the effort.

It's up to you.

[Furiel]

I think...and I could be wrong about this, but Pat is holding offo on the fight to give everyone an opportunity to state if they are attending or not, and also if they are wagering.

I believe Arrican, Bulwark and Wailer are currently unaccounted for in this regard, with Cuspar, Syric and Dood at the fight and Klak playing night watch-zabrak

[Blackferne]

I have a question:

Can we make with the fight now?

Not yet. I don't have dedicated time to crank it out(dewscriptive fight writing) and I want to give anyone else a chance to place bets.

Another question:

Must I be present to collect my winnings or could I hand my betting slip or whatever to Whiteness?

Yes

Another question:

If the latter is true, does that mean I could, theoretically, steal a winning ticket from someone else should Eli lose?

No

Another question:

Seven?

What?

[Whiteness]

Another question:

Seven?

What?

See, it's a good thing Dood asks these questions, I thought the answer was When?

[Furiel]

Bulwark heads to the event, not to bet, but on the off chance to see one of his associates get the poodoo beat out of him at a time that his own immediate safety would not also then be in jepordy.

I completed that for you...cuz realistically you'll probably get a bunch of oppotunities to see me get my butt kicked in the future, but if I do, then they're going to be coming for you next.

I'm not worried, I'll just charm them like I did the lady at the hammock store.

I'm a little upset I didn't get a chance to ask if you were in the hammock complex or the hammock district.

Furiel's fight is at 8pm and Klak's job is at 10, correct?

[Blackferne]

Yep.

[Blackferne]

And just when I didn't expect to have to play Mr. Eshan again......

[Gandolfini]

Hey Blackie!

After buying a utility belt (-500), Wailer decides to find a different casino and try his luck again.

{Same as last time. Risk 100 per hand and gamble until I lose 500. Then take 1/2 of any winnings and risk it on one hand.}

[Dood]

Something tells me it won't take Blackie too many mental gymnastics to put a second casino under Parsec's control.

Oh, that isn't a problem. I just wanted to point out that I was right.

[Whiteness]

So how would I cheat at the casino?
